Trickerick, check whether you have vacuum petrol cock and whether it is dual or single feed. Then I would go for Z1R 28mm Mikuni's .... Check that rubber inlet manifold is same as earlier Z1000 models. Also, check if the carbs have accelerator pumps... Ideally, find one without.
Sorry don't know much about '85 models
Regardz.

Mikuni RS34 or 36 probably easiest to get & set up - Mikuni VM29or 33 for original pose & performance :twisted:

Go for slightly smaller options if want more torque & mid/low performance, or large variants if chasing more top end .... but all will be a major improvement over standard :!:

PS: Avoid CV carbs if you can :wink:
